Professions of the Future in the Fashion Industry

The fashion industry is on the verge of a radical transformation of the HR system. Under the influence of digitalization, sustainable development and new business models, traditional professions are either disappearing or radically changing their content. This discussion offers a comprehensive analysis of the upcoming changes through the prism of three key aspects:

  1. Technological revolution — how AI, blockchain and digital design create demand for fundamentally new specialties.
  2. Environmental transformation — which professions will appear in response to the demand for sustainable development.
  3. Globalization vs localization — how the geography of talents is changing in the new economic reality.
  • How are artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital design shaping new professional roles in fashion? What digital competencies will become mandatory for specialists? The role of automation and algorithms in changing work processes and personnel requirements.
  • The impact of sustainable development trends on the personnel structure and the emergence of new professions (eco-certification, zero-waste design, ethical management). What skills are needed to work with sustainable materials and supply chains? How can young professionals navigate the eco-focus of the industry?
  • What changes are taking place in the geography of fashion talents under the influence of the new economic situation? The impact of hybrid and remote forms of work on the distribution of human resources between BRICS+ countries and other regions. How can we increase the competitiveness of local specialists in the global market?
